    Question HD Steering Rods - TerraFirma vs Bearmach vs

    I'm looking to purchase some HD steering rodds for my D2a. Currently comparing the brands.

    TerraFirma do the TF255 TF255 - Discovery 2 Steering Rods which comes with a steering damper bracket.

    Bearmach do the BA 2240 Discovery which don't have the steering damper bracket.

    The TerraFirma are slightly more expensive, but I like the idea of retaining the steering damper.

    Anyone familiar with the models, is there any other notable differences to consider?
    Or any other brands/models to consider?

    you'll find that the steering dampner bracket is an extra in the bearmach case.

    I cant see there being much dif between them

    Just found that Paddock Spares also sell a set the PM023 ( PM023 | Heavy Duty Steering Rods for Discovery 2 - with 4 ball joints ). They are half the price of the Terrafirma or Bearmachs, waiting on a freight quote on them.

    Can you let me know what they quote for freight - I may need to buy that kit, all the boots on my drag links/track rods are perished and it's just easier to replace the entire assembly at that pirce (I also doubt that theboots are available on their own?)

    - Airmail £89.00
    - UPS £93.00
    - TNT Economy £79.00

    They advised it's an estimated 7 to 8 days for delivery on any of the three services.

    More like they have zero internet presence so no-one except the old skool Landie owners know they exist.

    ADD: The only information I can find on Maxi-Drive is forum posts discussing that the business was shutting down in 2007-8.

    ADD2: MR Automotive appear to have acquired the name, and are manufacturing "Maxi-Drive" parts. http://www.mrautomotive.com.au/maxidrive.php
